Mercedes-Benz E-Class Change Vehicle

"They had worn down and needed replacement."

"Replaced all 4 brakes"

"The problem is the emergency/parking brake release. It becomes difficult to get it to release until eventually it can't be released. This is a $600 repair. My wife has a 2013 MBZ E350 sedan and I have a 2013 MBZ coupe. I had to have the repair once under warranty by 20,000 miles and my wife twice out of pocket by 40,000 miles. We also have both had problems with the engine transmission mounts and that is a $500 repair."

"Required replacement of Engine Mounts at 55k mi"

"The body welds at the rear suspension failed requiring a specialist from Germany to re-weld and add bracing. The car was damaged in the procedure and was not drivable for many months. Every attempt to repair it resulted in new problems being created. After 6 years MERCEDES-BENZ is still trying to fix what was my new car."

"Chassis and suspension failure! An expert came from Germany to re-weld and brace the rear bulkhead, because the factory spot-welds failed. They also had to replace rear suspension components. For the first 18 months I owned the car, it was in the shop for 9 months. Mercedes never gave me a loner car, while I was making payments on a new car that I could not drive. The car was returned to me with paint and interior damage! The problems are still not resolved! I consider this defect a safet"

"Had to have it aligned after 7000 miles, and then after 5000"

"Groaning noise when steering at full left lock while making a slow turn"

"Air compressor failed."

"Even the dealer had difficulty getting my iPhone 7 paired with the car. Took three tries!"

"Never knew that this could be a potential problem. Was surprised that the dealership/MB does not alert clients that software/firmware updates are an important part of maintenance for the car."

"I'm having to bang the steering wheel to get the control to work for the up and down positions for the wheel from time to time."

"I mention the cylinder head only because of the removal to correct the gasket problem(s)"

"It started at about 34,000 and the head gaskets started leaking, but had exceeded the 4 year warranty. I had to pay for the repairs."

"Mercedes service noticed some modest engine oil leakage last fall (2016) when it was in for routine maintenance. I dropped off the car to correct the problem expected to take less than one day, It was under warranty (just barely) so they gave me a loaner. It took several days...remove the head(s) to replace the gaskets, etc. It has been good since then, but I can't imagine what it would have cost"

"Engine and transmission vibration mounts collapsed"

"This car boomed and vibrated at speed. It was so bad we sold it. I spent $1000 on new tires and it did not change"

"Vibration on turning while going very slow. Forward and backward, right and left. Dealer determined it was the transfer case and replaced it. $$$"

"loud exhaust noise in cabin under acceleration when engine is cold. Condition persists until warm up. No abnormal exhaust noise or leaks observed from outside the car. Have not resolved the problem. Probably an issue the dealer will have to solve. Need to take out a loan for a service call, however."

"control module failed, the mechanic advised that it is common for them to fail since they were not designed well and often suffer water damage. Apparently MB has redesigned them to avoid this issue."

"Interior wood trim door panel on both doors came away. Local dealership wanted to charge $850 to replace them. I fixed it with two sided tape for $2.50."

"When having my car power washed, part of the front fender paint peeled off that reflected a possible unreported accident from the previous owner"

"Ever since the car was new it had problems downshifting in the 10 to 20 mph range. It began with hesitation and surging, which would make the braking distance unpredictable and longer. Especially dangerous when stopping behind other cars. After computer updates, the problem still exists, but now the transmission can grind and one time it stalled the engine."

"Loud jerking down shifting at low throttle, especially on upgrade. Reset programming and improved performance but banging down shifts persist on upgrade with low throttle."

"Blue tech fluid injector failure at 24000 New computer and injector installed by dealer. Countdown to limp mode erratic, software replaced."

"bad 02 sensor replaced under warranty"

"Time to replalce spark plugs under general maintenance."

"Had to constantly resync the windows"
